Homeostasis.

Homeowah?

Homeostasis. (Home-E-Oh-Stay-Sis)

What the heck is that?

It is the ability to maintain a state.

It is one of our biggest enemies as
human beings. We get comfortable, and
it takes a lot to get us out of the
comfortable state, even when it doesn't
work for us.

One minute you may be gangbusters to
make a change, and then next, Homeostasis
has you in its grip, what the heck were
you thinking?

Why would you want to mess with THAT?

I mention this because of the dance I see
people do in life in general, and in this
erotic world in particular.

People want change. Yes they do.
Until they don't, because Homeostasis
says NOOOOO!

If you think you want to make a change,
the moment to act is NOW. For that one
moment you want to make that change, you
may have quieted Homeostasis, but odds are
very good it won't stay silent for long.

And, even when you go to make a change,
you likely will awaken Homeostasis which
will make a very strong case for "You're
going the wrong way...THIS way! THIS way!"

However, once you've taken enough steps
in the direction you want to go, Homeostasis
will realize that its "home" has moved, and
brilliantly, at that point, can become your
ally for a time because now it will want
to help keep you in this new place.

The irony about life is that we are
meant to move forward and change and grow,
so we walk a line seeking enough balance
to grow while seeking the comfort of the
"same" of what we have had.

Is it easy? I don't think I know of a
single person who would answer that question
"Yes." However, one has to hope that the
journey is worth it, and that we can find
our way to the things that are best for us
in the process.

Remember...if you want to make a change,
begin to make it NOW. and NOW. and NOW.

Homeostasis is lurking.
